One of a series of 6 small books dealing in a short and accessible way with the key concerns for Christians. Again and again, we hear that such-and-such an opinion is not 'biblical', implying that the Bible speaks with a unified voice on any matter. With humour and examples drawn from art and life, Helen-Ann Hartley argues that our reading of this varied collection of writings has to be generous, not exclusive. To appreciate fully the Bible's richness and diversity, we have to wrestle critically and creatively with themes that attract us and repel us. Not only should we draw meaning from the Bible, we must let our lives contribute meaning to the stories it tells, engaging in conversation with those stories and allowing them to urge us into being -- to think, speak and act. Ultimately, to make sense of the Bible, we need to make sense of who we are in relationship to God.

A reprint edition of a 1966 biography of foremost astronomer George Ellery Hale, who laid much of the foundation of modern astrophysics and observational cosmology. He's best known for the planning and building of the 200-inch Hale Telescope of the Palomar Mountain Observatory. This book features a new introduction by Allan Sandage and an index not included in the original work. Since the history of astrophysics is mostly undocumented, this work provides a rare look at Hale's scientific achievements: his invention of the spectroheliograph, his discovery of the magnetic nature of sunspots, and his legendary leadership in founding the Yerkes, Mount Wilson, and Palomar Mountain Observatories.

Excerpt from the Greeting: "Hear me, my Daughter, and give ear unto my wisdom, that you may understand man-his goings and his comings, his stayings-out and his return in the morning, his words of honey and his ways of guile. Beloved, question me not, where I have learned of man, his secrets. Have I not known one man well? And truly, a woman need know but one man, in order to understand all men; whereas a man may know all women and understand not one of them. For men are of but one pattern, wherein you need but to discover the secret combination; but women are as the Yale lock-no two of them are alike." This edition is adapted from "The Sayings of Mrs. Solomon," by Helen Rowland, published in 1913.
